Here is my project to inspire you.
Using Victorine Originals' Cake stamp and Best Wishes Stamp.

I started out by stamping the Cake image many times to decide what color I wanted to use.
I even embossed it and nothing seemed to be what I was going for until I stamped it in a multi color.
I wasn't looking to go for just a traditional Wedding card.
I wanted something different.
So I then Die cut around my image with a cute but fancy border.
I then stamped using the Best Wishes stamp.
Note: I only used the Best Wishes part of the stamp.
The complete saying is Best Wishes on your Wedding day.
I then used my Fiskars border punch and punched hearts on opposite sides.
I attached them both to a black background to make them pop.

Now its your turn.... Join in the fun!!!
I hope to see your creations soon.

Good Morning crafty friends.
I am up on the SumMoreFun blog
today to share a
Masculine card using Victorine Originals Bass stamp with you all.

I know alot of people have problems creating masculine cards, so I wanted to create something to hopefully inspire those.
I started out with a paper from Prima.
It was tan with splotches of white.
This gave me my base to go from.
I added the dots using oxide inks and a stencil.
I distressed the edges with black oxide ink.
And brushed a little throughout.
Taking a torn peice of cardboard I distressed it as well.
Attached it to my base and added my black peice which is a cut up onion bag, but looks like a net.
I then stamped my fish image.
Fuzzy cut it out and colored it in gel pens to highlight it.
I also added a few metal gears and a crab.

Father's day is drawing near and it is really hard for me this year.
My dad passed away last year, Just after Father's day.
This year, since I do have someone in my life special to me and special to my son A man that stepped up and took on that responsibility when he didnt have to, I still decided to go ahead and make something. But I did a little something different.
No cards... I just can't yet.
But an album cover to add too as I chose.

I started out with Prima Paper. The design was a perfect fit. Although I did alter it some with my own touch.
I ripped a page from an old book and distressed the edges.
I stamped my image twice on two different colored papers.
This stamp has an outline around that I actually trimmed away as I felt it was holding everything inside the box.
As I'm an outside the box thinker, I think I have an OCD about things being kept Inside the lines or box.
It really puts a block on things flowing...
Mentally and visually.

I added some metal pieces from my stash that looked older since that was the look I was going for.
Adding some cardboard peices for texture and some more distressing along the way.
I also added some word stickers to bring it all together.

Good Morning crafty friends.
I am up on the SumMoreFun blog
today to share a
Thinking of you card I made using Raisin Boat's "Oops a daisy" stamp set.

As you can tell I've been playing around with my Distress Oxide inks again.
I started out by blending a few colorful colors in my background.
I then stamped my daisy images directly onto the colors.
I then blended black all around the edges.
I chose a few colorful papers to layer it.
I stamped the Thinking of you sentiment and attached it using 3D foam tabs.

Here is a closer look
